Exactly- ill run it with a brake and test that but I can't shoot better than it's currently shooting... so as I have said I won't do further "load development" or "troubleshooting" as it would be pointless.

Well that's that then, job done. Didn't take long at all and it's pretty impressive that you've started with a stock Remington 700, swapped the trigger and added a suppressor and it's shooting great, three rounds touching. No bedding needed or other fancy stuff. If you're getting those groups prone it would presumably be even tighter off the bench, if anything. So when and where are you off hunting with it? You'll have to do a vid of it in the field!

So tonight I'm shooting it with a nice muzzle brake fitted - I feel like loads of people will want to see that back to back with the Suppressor...

From then on it's probably user enhancements... - bolt knob, drop box mag ...chassis?

... but I'll Probably do a quick summary video of the mods thus far first and then talk about the entended purpose of the rig going forward.

Sounds good to me. I am looking forward very much to it. Make sure you are wearing your best ear pro! This is an awesome real world type experiment. Actually seeing it shoot off the bench would be kind of interesting for comparison. Do you reckon there'd be much difference? Or is that not really the idea of the series?

Boom - next instalment is up chaps.
